there is a risk in buying os i have bought over 30 bikes this year 3 of which where fkd 2 wernt too bad new piston on a rm 250c,seized yamaha,1972cr 450 husky crank,gearbox and clutch if any one has a gearbox let me know,so that is a 10% failure rate.i have 50 bikes coming so i expect 5 of them to not as described.yes i get someone to check them but again this is stuff that has been sitting around and was cheap enough not 8000k.we go thru the bikes as best as we can,i dont pull them down if they run good,change gear have to assume they are ok.i do try to send them ready to ride reco shocks,tryes if needed ,airfilters.ie i sold a SC500 to a guy in melbourne it was rattly but i did tell so. did the deal if i was able to find parts found the parts and waved the bike goodbye.some things you cant see afterall most of these things are 25;45 yrs old,but as an example i had a GT750 SUZUKI for sale looked brilliant in the pics i had to put in the add it didnt look no where as good as the pics and was sold under those conditions,my favourite add on ebay is pics form the description
maybe brad didnt ask about the forks but should of been informed about what wasnt asked about. it wasnt like he was buying a $500 shitter which you expect to be a shitter tho sometimes you get suprised.when i did my dealers lic course it tells you that you can well have litary license -that official term is puffery
ie this is the best mx bike ever and if you buy it you will win every race-you can say in my opinion it is the best ever etc but you cant tell blatant lies or decieve the buyer with cover ups or omissions. i have sold bikes where we have discovered some isnt right after use i will at least offer the parts for cost price.or throw in a seyt of tryes or something
